Airflow on Ubuntu 20.04 crashes each time it receives a request

[ijm667]

Apache Airflow version

2.7.2

What happened

I installed the recent version of airflow and it crashes when I try and access from my CHROME web browser, and get the following message:

*"Something bad has happened.

Airflow is used by many users, and it is very likely that others had similar problems and you can easily find
a solution to your problem."

The configuration used to work about 6 month ago, out of the box, but now its no longer working.

Each requests produces the following PYTHON CRASH :

### What you think should happen instead

I think it is quite obvious why I think this is wrong. It simply does not work.

### How to reproduce

# update the ubuntu version
apt-get --yes update
apt-get --yes install net-tools

# install the python and pip stuff
apt-get --yes install python3-pip
pip3 install --upgrade pip==20.2.4

# install airflow
export AIRFLOW_HOME=~/airflow
pip3 install apache-airflow

# initialise airflow
airflow db init
airflow users create --username admin --firstname jamie  --lastname marshall --role Admin --email ijm@amenesik.com --password=password

# launch airflow web server
airflow webserver --port 80 > airflow.log 2> airflow.err &

# launch airflow scheduler
airflow scheduler > scheduler.out 2> scheduler.err &
